Departures from Saratoga will continue at 10 a.m. daily and Friday through Monday evenings also at 7 p.m. to accommodate weekend stays. Departures from North Creek southbound will continue to be offered at 7 a.m. and 3:45 p.m. daily.

“We regret any inconvenience to our passengers and loss of foot traffic especially in North Creek where merchants and event promoters count on rail passengers to bolster commerce”,” said Luisa Sherman, who coordinates marketing and public relations matters for the railway. “Thankfully it looks like the train will be up and running sooner than expected and just in time for the Bluegrass Festival to be held in North Creek over Aug. 16-18.”
